Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 266: Under the bright and clear sky, Master’s Wife saw it…

On Lotus Peak, under the ginkgo tree.

You Su and Ji Lingruo had just finished practicing swordsmanship, which was of course formal swordsmanship.

This time they were no longer fighting with wooden swords, but real sharp blades - the Mosong Sword and the Muyan Sword.

You Su sheathed his sword with a look of approval; Ji Lingruo, on the other hand, looked dull and resentful.

I have clearly practiced sword skills hard enough, so why can’t I hit my brother?

This caused her to have some self-doubt.

The sunlight shines through the withered branches, casting mottled shadows. Only a few lonely leaves are left on the old ginkgo tree, while the grass under the tree is covered with a layer of golden leaves, which are soft and make a rustling sound when stepped on.

The cold wind blew and blew away the last remaining leaves.

Ji Lingruo felt even more sad when seeing this scene, but You Su picked up a leaf that had just fallen, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it deeply, with a look of intoxication on his face.

He did not directly comment on the girl's swordsmanship, but asked:

"Junior sister, do you think these ginkgo leaves are particularly sweet?"

Ji Lingruo followed suit and picked up a leaf from the ground. She twitched her nose slightly and said in confusion:

"Isn't it just the same faint fragrance as usual? What's so special about it?"

You Su raised the corner of his mouth playfully and handed the leaves in his hand over, "The leaves you picked up were the ones that fell before. You have to smell the ones that fell today to know the difference."

Ji Lingruo looked puzzled, and took the one from You Su's hand and sniffed it, but still didn't notice any difference:

"Aren't they all grown from the same tree? What's the difference?"

"No, the leaves that fell before were nourished by mountain springs and rainwater, so the fragrance was naturally bland. But the leaves that fell today were drunk yesterday..."

Before You Su finished saying the word "holy water", Ji Lingruo's eyebrows raised, her face flushed, and she covered You Su's mouth in shame and anger.

"Shut up!"

Ji Lingruo felt ashamed and angry when she thought of the ridiculous things that happened under the tree yesterday.

No wonder this blind man kept fighting and retreating, and brought the battlefield here before deciding the winner! He must have come here on purpose to laugh at me!
When Ji Lingruo thought of the excitement of being exposed to the public at any time yesterday, a tingling sensation like an electric current ran through her body again.

"You knew that my senior sister was not here, but you still teased me on purpose! I will ignore you!"

Ji Lingruo folded her arms across her chest, turned around, her cheeks puffed up.

In fact, she said the same thing after she learned the truth yesterday, but she was so happy throughout the day that she forgot to be angry.

Today, her senior brother knew that she lost and was in a bad mood, but he still dared to make fun of her on purpose. She couldn't forgive this blind man so easily.

You Su hurriedly moved forward and leaned his shoulder against the girl. When Ji Lingruo took a step back in disgust, he moved closer again in a flattering manner.

"You are a dog-skin plaster that can't be shaken off." Ji Lingruo glared at You Su.

"Don't be impatient, Junior Sister. Listen to me first."

You Su took the Mu Yan Sword from Ji Lingruo's hand, pulled it out and looked at it.

This was indeed a good sword, both in terms of workmanship and materials. But it was too literary, or too decorative, which made the sword too round and bloated, and not suitable for someone like Ji Lingruo.

"Junior sister, you have actually achieved a lot in the art of using the Yang Sword. Compared to Izumo City, the difference is like heaven and earth. So, Junior sister, you must not underestimate yourself."

"You mean I was terrible at training when I was in Izumo Castle?"

When a girl is angry, her proficiency in the skill of finding fault will automatically reach the maximum.

"No, it was good too, but it's better now."

Ji Lingruo raised her eyebrows, "You are just good at flattering me. It is because you are always like this that I have not made any progress."

Although the girl was harsh in her words, she knew in her heart that she had made progress, and all these great improvements were due to the teachings of Master Lian Jian.

He Shutong is the legitimate successor of the Yang Sword and has a deep understanding of it. With her generous teaching, Ji Lingruo's attainments in the Yang Sword naturally improved.

However, swordsmanship depends on two parts learning, three parts practice, and five parts understanding, so Ji Lingruo's talent in swordsmanship is definitely worthy of recognition.

But the girl was really upset. Why couldn’t she beat You Su?
"Then tell me, why can't I beat you?"

You Su finally got to the point, "Last time we competed in Junior Sister's room..."

"If you want to say something obscene, I will really ignore you!"

Ji Lingruo interrupted You Su mercilessly.

She still remembered the last time she competed with You Su in the room. You Su actually took off her pajamas under the pretext of sparring. It was really too much.

"How can that be? I'm serious." You Su continued with a wry smile, "Last time I said that Junior Sister had too little practical experience and could only recite by rote without any flexibility. But today, Junior Sister used her sword and her instincts prevailed. She even used some moves that I had never thought of using. This shows that Junior Sister's understanding of the Mandarin Duck Sword has surpassed mine."

This is true. Ji Lingruo drew his sword according to his instinct. He not only understood the strategy of the Yang Sword, but also combined it with the agility of the snake clan, making the Yang Sword even more difficult to defend against.

"A woman's swordplay is originally practiced by a woman. Is it something to be proud of if she is better than a man like you?"

Ji Lingruo pouted, but in her heart she was delighted by You Su's affirmation.

"I was the one who taught Junior Sister how to use the Yang Sword. Now Junior Sister's understanding has surpassed mine. What does that mean?"

Ji Lingruo's beautiful eyes immediately lit up: "It means I have completed my apprenticeship!"

You Su also showed a gratified smile, stretched out his hand and pinched the girl's rosy face:
"Yes."

Since his senior sister was not at home, You Su was a little more unrestrained in his intimate actions.

Ji Lingruo was delighted. She didn't dislike You Su's little actions as usual. She was so happy that she became modest:

"In fact, it was my master who taught me. I couldn't have done it that fast on my own. Although I have become your disciple, I am still far from being as good as my master."

You Su could of course guess what the Master's Wife and the Teacher's Sister Yang Jian were about, and smiled dotingly:

"What did I promise you on the day you left for your apprenticeship?"

"A sword that belongs to me?"

Ji Lingruo was a little surprised, but also a little worried.

"And it's the best sword."

As soon as You Su finished speaking, he took out a sword handle with a simple and elegant shape from his Qiankun bag. It was the Chengying Sword obtained from the Lingxu Mountains.

The hilt of the sword was translucent dark blue in color, and as soon as it appeared, it revealed a sharpness like cutting jade and gold.

"So you've been ready for a long time!"

Ji Lingruo looked at the hilt of the sword in You Su's hand in disbelief.

She was worried that this promise would bring too much pressure to You Su, but she didn't expect that You Su was already prepared.

The girl was touched, but her nose felt sore. However, she could tell that the sword was not right, so she calmed down and asked:
"But why is there only one hilt?"

You Su had expected this. He touched the ground with his toes and lifted up a ginkgo leaf. He then swung his sword horizontally. It was obvious that he was just swinging the hilt, but the flying ginkgo leaves suddenly split into two petals and fell to the ground with a rustling sound.

Ji Lingruo was no longer a novice in swordsmanship, and could clearly see that You Su did not use any Xuan Qi in this sword strike, nor did he deliberately mobilize the Xuan Qi between heaven and earth. How could he cut off all the leaves with just a casual swing?
"What exactly is going on?"

Ji Lingruo hurried over and looked at the sword with only a hilt curiously.

You Su didn't keep the secret any longer. He pressed lightly on the sword guard with his thumb, and a vague shadow appeared on the ground.

Ji Lingruo looked closely and saw clearly that it was actually a sword blade as thin as a leaf. The sword body trembled slightly in the breeze, appearing and disappearing, as if even the light was cut into pieces by this thin blade.

"The Chengying Sword Sect's heirloom sword is the Chengying Sword. Under the nourishment of the Chengying Master's life force, it has been elevated to a rare immortal sword in the world."

If we talk about the best sword in the world, it must be the Immortal Sword.

When it comes to the level of immortal swords, quality can no longer be used to measure good or bad. Each immortal sword has its own special features, and the standard for measuring good or bad can only be whether this immortal sword is suitable for the person who wields the sword.

"Immortal sword?!"

Ji Lingruo was obviously frightened by the title. The heat in her eyes faded away, and the surprise in her heart far exceeded the joy.

You know, You Su’s own sword is not even an immortal sword, but he found such a precious sword for himself.

Faced with such an expensive gift, she seemed a little frightened.

"Brother, let's sell it... I'm sure it can fetch a lot of money..."

You Su smiled bitterly. His junior sister could have been a pampered lady, but she developed a greedy nature.

"Don't rush to sell it. Immortal swords are all spiritual and they recognize their masters. If it can't be used by Junior Sister, we can sell it later."

Ji Lingruo was still a little hesitant and didn't dare to take it, "But... this is too precious, how can I use it..."

"You are the descendant of the Yang Sword, a disciple of the Lotus Sword Master, the second daughter of the Snake Clan, and my junior sister, You Su. Why can't you use it?"

You Su lightly pressed the sword guard, and the invisible thin blade was retracted. He lightly rotated the hilt of the sword, and then pointed it at Ji Lingruo.

But Ji Lingruo still hesitated, her pretty hands shrank back, not daring to touch.

She was not really afraid of the magic sword, but the gift You Su prepared for her was too expensive, and she was embarrassed to accept it.

"When Venerable Chengying draws his sword, it is invisible. Wherever he passes, only a vague shadow is left. Junior sister also understands the principle of agility when she draws her sword, which is consistent with the temperament of this sword. Before Venerable Chengying died, he asked me to choose a wise master for this sword, so I can't sell it. If Junior sister feels that she is not worthy of it, I will find someone else."

After saying this, You Su pretended to put away his sword. Upon hearing this, Ji Lingruo plucked up the courage and grabbed You Su's wrist.

"It's better to keep the wealth within the family. Why don't I try..." Ji Lingruo's money-grubber nature kicked in. She thought that she and her senior brother were already in this relationship. No matter how valuable the gift was, she would have to spend it internally. She would just have to compensate You Su...

But if it benefits others, it will not only be You Su's loss, but also her loss.

Therefore, with the idea of ​​not letting the money go out, Ji Ling's desire to make Chengying recognize him as his master became more and more intense.

You Su secretly found it funny, and he guessed what the girl was thinking.

As Ji Lingruo's aura grew, the hilt of the sword in You Su's hand began to tremble slightly, flashing green light, as if in response.

The Mosong sword on You Su's waist was also trembling. You Su reached out and patted it gently, as if to say:

"This is your wife sword from now on, not your enemy. Stop acting like a superhero all the time."

Mo Songjian's vigorous fighting spirit actually faded.

And just at this moment, a strong wind suddenly arose, the clouds in the sky moved rapidly, and the shadows imprinted on the ground flew past.

The ginkgo leaves that fell beside Ji Lingruo fluttered in the wind and spun around the girl like flowers.

A mysterious atmosphere enveloped Ji Lingruo and the Chengying Sword. The girl stared at the Chengying Sword with a look as firm as a rock. There was only one thought in her mind:
Brother, I will never give you to anyone else!!
"Crack."

Ji Lingruo grasped the hilt of the sword.

At this moment, the flowing clouds stopped, the flying leaves fell to the ground, and there was silence between heaven and earth.

Ji Lingruo was in a trance, and seemed to see a woman in a green dress shedding tears above the sky, and then gradually disappearing.

"I really recognize my junior sister as my master!"

You Su was happy for the girl from the bottom of his heart.

Ji Lingruo stood there in a daze, as if in a trance, unable to believe that she could really do it.

Her best battle record was forcing the ghost mite, who was one major realm stronger than her, to use a deadly poison that he would not easily use, but in the end he was still saved by You Su.

So she was not very confident in herself. Even though her senior brothers and master praised her and she was very happy, she still only thought that she was a female swordsman with some talent.

But it was not until the moment when the immortal sword recognized her as its master that she realized that she was truly a one-in-a-million genius.

She waved the sword casually, and a tall ancient pine tree not far away shook slightly, and then the lush green pine canopy fell slowly in a gust of cold wind, revealing the protruding circles of growth rings.

Seeing this scene, her eyes became hot and tears began to fall.

"Woooooooo..."

Like a young swallow flying into the forest, the girl threw herself into You Su's arms and sobbed, saying intermittently:

"Thank you, thank you, Master..."

You Su gently stroked the girl's fragrant back and kept saying words of encouragement to her.

The two of them hugged each other like this until the girl got tired and her crying stopped.

At this moment, she no longer had her previous arrogance and reserve. Since her senior sister was not around, she simply leaned in You Su's arms and rested.

She carefully put away the Chengying Sword and said apologetically:

"Brother, I'm sorry... You haven't used the magic sword yet, but I used it first... I will definitely find a magic sword for you!"

You Su hugged her tighter lovingly:
"What are you saying to me? My junior sister and I are a family, so of course I should give the good things to my wife first."

It was the first time that Ji Lingruo heard these two words from You Su's mouth. She suddenly felt weak all over and turned her head away hastily. Her face and neck were flushed, and she looked extremely beautiful.

"Who is your wife..."

"Junior sister accepted my betrothal gift and you still want to deny it?"

Using the Immortal Sword as betrothal gift, I'm afraid that even the three great immortal families in Henggao City are not capable of doing so.

"This is clearly my apprenticeship gift, how did it become a betrothal gift?"

Ji Lingruo was still arguing with You Su out of habit, but she was actually already overjoyed and moved beyond words, so she could only murmur in a low voice:

"The betrothal gift must be given separately..."

"It's really not cheap to marry my junior sister." You Su raised his lips and whispered in the girl's ear, "It's so expensive, junior sister, you have to give me a little sweet taste first, what if I give up?"

"If you give up, I won't return the sword to you."

Ji Lingruo snorted softly, of course she knew You Su was teasing her on purpose. But she had just received a generous gift, so it was only right for her to compensate You Su a little.

"You...what sweet thing do you want to taste?"

You Su smiled mysteriously and said nothing. Instead, he picked up another piece of ginkgo, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, as if he could smell the sweet scent he mentioned at the beginning.

Ji Lingruo was immediately ashamed when she saw this. How could a little sweet soup be considered sweet?

The young couple were very affectionate and as there was no one around, they were naturally very much in love.

And behind the fairy forest, lotus grows in the pond.

He Shutong cut off his consciousness as if he had been electrocuted and withdrew his gaze.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly and her bright eyes flickered. The snow-capped peaks hidden under the water rose and fell violently, causing ripples, as if she was greatly shocked.

Although she was trapped in the Lotus Pond, it did not mean that she could not send out her spiritual sense to explore the outside. It was just that her current cultivation level could only allow her to barely maintain this fairy forest maze.

If she wanted to look outside again, she would have to use the unstable cultivation in her body. And these cultivations might be like spilled water, never to return.

Therefore, she never used her spiritual sense to spy on the lives of her disciples. First, she was definitely not a spy. Second, it was for the safe refining of the lotus root heart. Third, the disciples lived in harmony and there was no need for her to spy.

But just when she closed her eyes and was refining the medicinal power of the Nine-Turns Spiritual Pill, she was awakened by a surge of sword energy. She frowned and looked around, only to find that it was the immortal sword on Lotus Peak that was recognizing its master.

She didn't know whether it was You Su or Ji Lingruo, but she was happy for them.

She wanted to continue practicing, but suddenly she felt that a tree at the outermost edge of the Fairy Forest Formation had been chopped down!
This made her alert, mistakenly thinking that something was happening. Out of concern for her disciples, she forced her consciousness to extend far, but she saw a scene that made her dumbfounded -

In my eyes, the polite, gentle and modest Su'er...

How could he bury himself in Ling Ruo's place like an excited puppy? !

Isn't Su Er the one who respects and cares for women the most... How could he let Ling Ruo show that kind of expression? !
He Shutong's cheeks were flushed and his mind was in a mess.

She was familiar with the sect's books and understood the principles of sexual desire between men and women, but that didn't mean she, whose heart had been frozen for two hundred years, could calmly accept such an exciting way of playing...

Although we know that the couple can't help themselves, they shouldn't do this in broad daylight!
Thinking of Ji Lingruo's bullied look, He Shutong's heart suddenly tightened...

Could it be... that this was all led by Su'er?

Frankly speaking, although she had advised You Su many times to remember to release his Yang energy, and even did it for him twice herself, in her eyes, who was over two hundred years old, You Su was still like a young boy who had just started out.

But at this moment, the childish image of You Su in her mind collapsed in an instant.

She then realized that You Su was already a real man...

She suddenly thought of a possibility that shocked her even more: if Wangshu and Su'er really became a Taoist couple...

She listened to You Su so much, she and Ling Ruo wouldn't...

And if my natal object has not been refined by that time, wouldn't I be enjoying the peaceful years here while there is constant gunfire outside?
no! Absolutely not!
He Shutong clenched her fists, then suddenly released them.

She looked at her own flawless hands, and thought about what was mixed into the lotus pond to make it have such a good effect. Her determination was instantly shattered.

What if they and You Su were both willing? This is not only natural, but also in line with the purpose of the Mandarin Duck Sword Sect.

Isn't that just me being nosy? Am I too old-fashioned?
Thinking of this, He Shutong's body softened even more.

"Master's Wife doesn't like Master?"

"Master's wife, we are friends."

You Su's words were still fresh in his ears as He Shutong looked at her own jade-like feet covered in black stockings in the shimmering water.

She knew that she could no longer treat You Su as a child.

……

Three days later.

Zhongyuanzhou, Jinhua City.

Inside the antique high-rise building, the wooden floor still retains its dark brown color after years of baptism, calm and profound.

The exquisite wooden lattice windows divide the sunlight into fine strands, which fall onto the luxurious bed.

It was a pair of legs as plump as jade, and the tight and smooth black stockings added a different kind of temptation.

Following the stockings upwards, there is a black and gold cheongsam that is tailored to perfection, outlining the woman's graceful figure, noble and charming.

Her hair was tied up high, her eyes were beautiful, and there was a beauty spot on her lips. On her high nose bridge, she wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which added a touch of intellectuality to her classical temperament.

Opposite her was the fairy Wangshu, dressed in white, sitting obediently on a chair.

"There is no evil here at all, you are lying."

Wangshu's blue eyes were fixed on the noble woman in front of him.

The noble woman's lips curled slightly, and her eyes suddenly became sharp:
"Fairy Wangshu, you don't want the Bihua Pavilion that your junior brother just saved to close down immediately, right?"
